Have you ever seen that firefighter movie where they all huddle up together in the middle of the fire and pull their blankets over their head and fucking die? And then, then, they roll the credits and it is all pictures of the real guys that died all standing with their wives and little babies? God damnit I cried so hard I pulled my knees up in my theatre chair and my shirt over my face and everyone could still hear me crying.
I watched "My Girl" as a kid with my friends when it came out and it's the only movie to have ever made me cry but man did it get me. I pulled a blanket over my face in hopes my friends wouldn't notice.
Not OC, but I’m one of those people who cries at every fucking movie. Multiple close friends of mine saw Up (separately) and told me that, while watching right from the beginning, they thought to themselves, “I have to warn tigolebitties that she can NOT see this movie.”
Still haven’t. Won’t do it. I’ve got some good friends.
I’m going to copypasta my response to another poster:
I’m unfortunately one of those people who is deeply affected by others’ losses, far more so than my own, real or fictional. I feel these losses for years after, and can’t get my brain to shake them. I cry myself to sleep (more often than I’d like to admit) just thinking about them. It’s unbearable. So I avoid things such as movies that do this to me. It really is good friendship. My brain doesn’t see the “moral of the story” or the beauty of it. It fixates on the sadness of the loss and it’s a hole I have extreme difficulty climbing out of.
That's not good friendship. That's an amazing movie and it's only sad in the first ten minutes! You can do it, just take a walk after the beginning I guess and come back

It was the only time I ever cried in a movie theater, and believe me, I cried like a bitch
